More Information

There’s nowhere more glamorous than The Verandah Resort and Spa, Antigua. Its panoramic terraces, scented gardens and breathtaking beaches are all suitably romantic venues for an unforgettable wedding ceremony handled by first-rate professional wedding planners. Choose from the beautiful surroundings for the ceremony including Rasta Beach, the most popular location for couples to get married at. What could be better than getting married while sinking your toes into the sand right on the beach. This beach is located on the East Side of the island and has a wonderful view of the Atlantic Ocean. Rasta Beach Gazebo is the second most popular location on the property. This is perfect for couples that wished to have a beach wedding, but not get sand in their toes. With a walkway, this is perfect for brides that want to wear heels and still hear the water splashing on the beach with a beautiful background view of the Atlantic Ocean. Hill Top Gazebo is perfect for couples and groups of 20 people or less. The turquoise water and the breath-taking backdrop make it the perfect location for sunset photos. Hide-Away Gazebo is ideal for couples that require a private ceremony away from the busy traffic of other guests at the resort. Adjacent, is a small reception area if needed for cocktail hour.

ALL ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS MUST BE TAKEN WITH YOU WHEN YOU TRAVEL

Translation of documents

All legal documents must be in English or legally translated into English. All translated documents must be from a legal translator with letterhead, stamp and seal from the translator's office or notarised by a Notary Public. Occasionally the documentation will have to be sent to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for their approval before being sent back to the notary to sign.

The Wedding Ceremony

In most destinations, your wedding ceremony will be conducted Monday to Friday (excluding local holidays). In some destinations, local festivals and holidays will determine available wedding dates. Generally, your wedding will take place in the grounds of the hotel unless otherwise specified. Many hotels offer wedding gazebos for extra privacy. Some hotels may offer more than one wedding per day with the first wedding taking place at around 10am with the last wedding at 4pm. The majority of our weddings are conducted by a marriage officer whose title varies depending on the resort. Where it is possible to be married by a Minister, the ceremony will be non denominational unless otherwise stated and will be a Civil wedding.

Tropical Sky Weddings and the information given above only apply to couples:

• Born in the UK

• Have a valid UK passport (with some months validity on return home)

If couples do not fulfil these requirements they must advise us. Couples should be referred to the embassy of the country of origin and the country where they wish to marry as they may require extra documentation to satisfy their own embassy requirements – Tropical Sky cannot advise on this and couples must investigate this on their own.

As Tropical Sky weddings have no jurisdiction over hotels/resorts/venues/legal requirements and their charges, we cannot be responsible for any increases or changes to these wedding arrangements. We will, however, endeavour to advise you of changes as soon as we are made aware of them. All prices and legal requirements correct as of June 2013.
